Women Build Mixer Held at Year of Beer Fundraising Series
Nearly 100 attendees attend Women Build Year of Beer networking event to raise funds for affordable housing in SLO County.
Habitat for Humanity San Luis Obispo County (Habitat SLO), the Home Builders
Association (HBA) of the Central Coast, and the Central Coast’s Professional Women in Building Council (PWB) hosted a mixer on March 20 at The Hub in San Luis Obispo. Nearly 100 attendees networked, learned more about volunteer opportunities, and enjoyed Central Coast brews by beer sponsor Covelop, Inc.
Because of its success, organizers plan to make it an annual event. Central Coast Brewing owner George Peterson looks forward to the collaboration. “Central Coast Brewing is proud to work with philanthropic organizations that exist for the greater good, and Habitat for Humanity SLO County is a great match,” said Peterson. “The HUB and CCB are proud to help make this organization stronger. The Year of Beer
event was a great start to what I feel will be a long and strong relationship.”
Beer lovers and community supporters can enjoy Central Coast Brewery beers while benefitting a worthy cause. Attendees receive a ReStore token to earn special discounts at the Paso and San Luis Obispo ReStores. Funds raised go to support Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building homes, communities, and hope.
Year of Beer events occur once or twice a month at local breweries and establishments and part of sales proceeds raise funds for Habitat SLO’s Home Preservation, Affordable Housing, and Neighborhood Revitalization programs.
On April 15, SLO Provisions in San Luis Obispo will host the next event in Habitat SLO’s Year of Beer series. Wine Night will run from 4:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. Habitat staff will be behind the bar pouring for Non-Profit Monday. Partial proceeds from wine sales and all guest-bartender tips will go toward building and restoring homes for members of the local community.
On April 18th California Coast Beer Co. in Paso Robles will not only be serving up fantastic beers but also host a concert by country artist Maggie Baugh. Tickets are on sale now at www.eventbrite.com and 100% of tickets sales benefit Habitat SLO
